Ekklesia, the Greek word mistranslated as 'church,' means 'called out to assemble to govern' (as shown in Acts 19). Called out of what? The world? Out of Judaism? Called into Israel? What were Israelites called out of?
GREAT - It is very important that you understand "ekklesia"
This is the SAME meaning and application that God spoke in the OT about the children of Israel.
God's Holy People, which are Jew & Gentile in the Body of MESSIAH are a "ekklessia" =
Called out Assembly unto God
We, the Body of MESSIAH are 'Called out from the world, which is the kingdom of darkness under satan who is the god of this world'
A.) Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James,
To those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ:
B.) Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves.
No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
C.) And the God of all grace,
who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
We are CALLED OUT of the world and it's antichrist dominion unto the FATHER thru the LORD Jesus Christ that we may KNOW HIM and be partakers of HIS Divine Nature by His HOLY SPIRIT = this is the GOSPEL = Salvation from the world which is condemned by SIN
